and autonomy and laid the foundation for future reproductive rights initiatives
and health care services in the country. So now you know. And now it's time for the Surf Report.

In local news, demolition has officially begun for two buildings destroyed by a fire in April
at the end of the Oceanside Pier. Sounds of sawing and hammering echoed across the ocean front this
week as scaffolding was installed to prepare for the removal of charred timbers. City officials
indicated that the scaffold will prevent potentially toxic debris from falling into the ocean.
The project, expected to last several weeks, will allow most of the pier to remain open to the public
with brief closures for equipment access.
Now on to sports. Buffalo Bills fans are celebrating as the team swiftly responded to a significant
addition by a rival in the AFCL. The team is also celebrating the arrival of a new
football team, the New York Jets, and the New York Jets. The team swiftly responded to a significant
addition by a rival in the AFC East. The Bills finalized a trade to acquire wide receiver
a Mary Cooper and a 2025 sixth round pick from the Cleveland Browns in exchange for a 2025 third
round pick and a 2026 seventh round pick. This move aligns with the New York Jets' recent acquisition
of the Bills. While Cooper's early 2024 performance includes only 24 receptions for 250 yards,
his potential resurgence could significantly boost the Bills' offense.
Last night, the Yankees secured a solid 6-3 victory over the Cleveland Guardians in Game 2
of the ALCS. Aaron Judge's powerful two-run homer set the tone, while Anthony Rizzo's clutch
double extended the lead. Clay Hones earned the win, with Tanner Bybee taking the loss.
With this win, New York leads the series 2-0, putting them in a commanding position.
Tonight, the Dodgers face the Mets at Citi Field for Game 3 of the NLCS, with the series tied 1-1.
Walker Bueller, struggling with a 10.8 ERA, will pitch against Louis Severino, who holds a 4.5 ERA.
Expect a brisk 53 degrees in Queens, where the Mets are favored by 1.5 runs.
In local sports, tonight, the Kings, with two ties already this year,
meet the Toronto Maple Leafs at Scotiabank Arena. The Kings are eager to bounce back after their
thrilling 8-7 overtime loss against Ottawa. Anne's coppiter leads the charge with 6 points,
while Max Domi shines with 3 goals. In top news, Must See Viewing has returned with the San Diego
Zoo's live panda cam, featuring the giant pandas, Yan Chuan and Xin Bao. Launched yesterday,

Morning footage began around 9.30, showcasing the pandas in their expansive bamboo-filled homes.
Paul Barabolt, the zoo's president and chief executive officer, unveiled the camera on Good
Morning America, expressing excitement for their return. The two pandas arrived in the United States
on June 28, becoming the first in 21 years, under a decade-long loan from China. In business news,
Tom Brady has received approval from the National Football League to acquire a minor loan from the
Las Vegas Raiders. The former quarterback, who has been pursuing this investment for over a year,
will obtain a 5% stake in the team. The NFL voted on this deal, allowing Brady, along with Tom
Widener and Richard Seymour, to acquire about a 10% share. While the exact transaction price remains
undisclosed, the team was valued at $7.8 billion earlier this year. Brady also owns a minority share
in the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces and has a lucrative commentating deal with Fox Sports. In crypto

developments are underway in vaccine technology as gentle nasal sprays are being tested against
COVID, the flu, and respiratory syncytial virus. For many, including Allison Velasquez, who struggles
with a severe fear of needles, this breakthrough could be life-changing. Early trials in the United
States show promising immune responses from nasal vaccines. Researchers believe these sprays could
be available by 2027, potentially revolutionizing how we combat respiratory viruses.
Unlike traditional injections, nasal vaccines may offer faster and stronger protection,
while addressing vaccine equity concerns in low-income regions.
The future of vaccination looks needle-free and more accessible.
